I created Foreground out of the desire for a privacy-respecting alternative to other services that automatically track your time across apps and sites, where my data would never be analysed and sold to others. Everything is kept locally, offline, and Foreground only needs an internet connection to check for updates. As co-founder of Hello Code, I've been building in public and making apps for personal tracking for about a decade now! And Foreground optionally integrates with our main product Exist too.

This is great @joshsharp! I think if you can also calculate time per browser tab/domain, it would make it even more enticing for many people, since most of us spend time on the web browser anyways. Congrats on the launch 🙌 Wish you all the best!

@owenfar yes, I mention sites there, and it does indeed do that.

@joshsharp I see now, I think it would be clearer if you said "websites" everywhere instead of mixture of "sites"... I'm not one to miss something like that. But sites are just sites. Mentioning websites in the title here would have immediately triggered it for me :)

hey @joshsharp, congrats on creating foreground! love the privacy-first focus; potentially seeing a time-per-domain feature could make it a game-changer.

Hey Josh, How granular can the time tracking get? For instance, can it differentiate between different projects within the same application? Are there any plans for cross-device syncing while maintaining privacy? Congrats on the launch!

Congrats to the Foreground team on launch! A privacy-first approach to time tracking is a much-needed solution in today’s world. How does Foreground ensure seamless tracking across different apps while maintaining local data storage?

Hey Josh, Automatic time tracking across apps and websites sounds like a game-changer! But how accurate is the tracking when switching between apps quickly or working with multiple tabs? Does Foreground account for short, rapid switches, or is it designed for more sustained tasks?
